Electric Safari at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is the only place in Colorado where you can enjoy a holiday-safari themed drone show, and explore 50 acres of one-of-a-kind light sculptures, twinkling light displays, and larger-than-life illuminated inflatable animals while hand-feeding a giraffe herd on the side of a mountain! (Drone show and inflatables are weather dependent). For five consecutive years, Electric Safari was ranked the 3rd Best Zoo Lights in the U.S. by USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers' Choice Awards—until last year, when it climbed to 2nd place. This year's event will celebrate 35 years of holiday cheer, and Santa Claus will be listening to wishes December 5 – 23. Come celebrate the holiday season with sparkling lights, animals and fun for the whole family! For tickets and all the details, visit cmzoo.org/electric.
Advance timed tickets are required for members and non-members. Zoo member tickets are free, but must be reserved in advance. Due to the popularity of Electric Safari, some times and nights may sell out in advance. Everyone visiting the Zoo must have their own advance e-ticket, including children age 2 and under. Discounted tickets (senior and military) will be validated at the front gate with the appropriate ID.
